This show was pretty entertaining, but wasn't spectacular or kept you on the edge of you seat. I originally started watching this for the main female lead, Yuqi Chen and she did not disappoint. I thought her part was well acted, and she sure does know how to cry beautifully.I really can't say the same for the male lead Yu Meng Long. I'm not sure what the directors were thinking, allowing him to look exactly the same in each frame and under just about every circumstance. In terms of the rest of the cast, I thought the acting was well done for the most part.

The story's premise was different, but over time, it fell victim to the same old tropes with misunderstandings cause the leads' break up, stoic male lead, etc. I will give a shout out the music tracks. All of them sound so beautiful! I'm still listening to them weeks later.

Will I be watching this again soon? Likely not.
Did I enjoy the drama? Yeah sure. You can probably do other things while listening/watching this show in the background.

I must preface this review with the fact that I don't watch too many modern Chinese dramas. I tend to watch the ancient Chinese dramas with good fighting, beautiful costumes and some political intrigue. But there's really something appealing about this show and it gives you a break from the more melodramatic shows out there.

Story: The storyline is pretty coherent and consistent. Chinese dramas tend to cut scenes to the point where it can cause major confusion, but I gladly found that I didn't have that issue here. Though the central theme of this drama is the romance between the main leads, it doesn't consume every minute of the 41 episodes, which I can appreciate. It has a nice "follow your dreams" message but the overt patriotism would ruin it for me sometimes. I must say that I like the relationship between the two main leads, though the beginnings of it was sketchy it eventually evolved into something more mature and healthy. Was the storyline spectacular? I wouldn't say so, but it kept me entertained for the most part and definitely had some good laughs while watching it.

Acting/Cast: Overall the cast was pretty solid, no one's acting made me cringe or ruined any scenes. Yang Zi (though doesn't look like the character's age) and Li Xian did really well as the young innocent Tong Nian and the overly serious Han Shang Yan. Though I felt for some scenes Li Xian looked stiff and his posture looked strange and forced. Their chemistry as the main couple was so cute sometimes it made you squeal. I don't think you'll be let down in this department. I only wish they gave more screen time for Mi Shao Fei and YaYa's relationship to develop. They were also very cute and fun.

Music: The main theme, "A Nameless Person" pretty much brainwashed me. I've been playing it non-stop since finishing this drama. The ending theme "Milk Bread" and the rest of the music in between is also nice to listen to, but "A Nameless Person" really takes the cake for me.

If you're looking for a nice, lighthearted, comedic, and romantic drama to watch then this is the one for you. The acting is on point (for the most part) and the storyline makes sense and doesn't try to be more than what it is (sometimes you have dramas out there that try to cram every genre possible into the 40 some odd episodes which makes you forget the what the central plotline is supposed to be - this doesn't do that, yah!). This is the first modern Chinese Drama I was able to finish from beginning to end in a long time (for some odd reason I couldn't for the life of me finish Love O2O) and glad I picked it up, though much later than most folks.

Low stakes movie

Low stakes movie with a very questionable ending. It had a predictable storyline which is not a bad thing but the ending leaves a lot to be desired. Didn’t seem to go with the happy go lucky vibe of the rest of the story.

Acting was okay, I’ve seen much worse. Ariel Lin was good, the two main guys were alright. Louis koo was okay and Vaness was the usual over the top villain with some evil cackles. The cgi was not too bad.

Wasn’t sure about the music as i didn’t notice that there was music in the film besides the ending song which I didn’t listen to.

Overall enjoyable mindless movie.
